Knock Off - Jean Claude Van Damme (1997) - Shek O, Hong Kong

Time for another film and this time the 1997 Tsui Hark effort starring non other than JCVD. To be honest, Tsui's style of film making makes it difficult to get decent screen captures because he likes his skewed camera angles and looping twisting crane shots that leave a lot of the screen a bit blurry when stopped. But never mind, I seem to have salvaged enough stills for a decent stab, including the initial sea-based scenes that were shot around the rocky headland at Shek O.

The view in the above two pictures is from the area where the rocky spit Tai Tau Chau joins onto the main part of Shek O, looking north. The view directly south can be seen below and shows the small bridge that connects the two bits of land.
